Lutfi earlier revealed that Spears had called her on Sam’s cell phone requesting help. “She said she was scared of her father and wanted a way to get a cell phone,” she added. “She asked me if Sam could help her get a lawyer.”

The lawyer for Spears' conservatoriship Joel Boxster countered, "Lutfi made persistant calls. If this was a celebrity stalker, the court would not hesitiate. He is a celebrity svengali. Ms. Spears wanted him arrested because of his conduct."
